Story
What do the bands Sonic Youth, Magazine, and Tool all have in common?
At one point in each of their careers, an Ovation Magnum I Bass was the instrument responsible for their low-end thump. Why was this their instrument of choice?
Maybe it was their solid, yet wild offset design. Maybe it was the tonal variety you could get from the stereo output. Or, maybe it was the massive neck humbucker that sounds just as big as it looks. Whatever the reason, we love this bass, and figured it was time to pay it some tribute...again!
This time, we've added a couple key features that made the original Magnum Bass special:
- Magnum Pickup Frame (will not be aluminum)
- Mono/Stereo Out
